Extricating the name "Greengrass" from Croaker had come relatively easily. Teaching him to refer to all of the members of that family with a civil tongue had taken longer, until the spell used to reattach the organ did not work quite as it should.

One item, at least, had been of clear value and for that her debt to the Greengrass woman deepened.
